Abstract: Weather services provide Austrian avalanche services with observational data, meteorological forecasts and probabilities for the different parameters that concern avalanche activities. Avalanche warning centres combine these data with their own nivological observation, maintenance and control system. Two different time scales are involved with the avalanche forecast and consulting: During low risk periods the avalanche services hand out warnings for a short time range. In these cases situations warnings for tourist activities are published on a day to day basis.
